not one word from ted cruz about that today. and here is what that same ted cruz said about the president two years ago. >> this man is a pathological liar. he doesn't know the difference between truth and lies. he lies practically every word that comes out of his mouth. the man cannot tell the truth, but he combines it with being a narcissist. a narcissist at a level i don't think this country has ever seen. the man is utterly immoral. morality hadoes not exist for h. >> ted cruz has forgiven every sin donald trump committed against him, against his father and the horrible things he said about ted cruz's wife. ted cruz has even forced his young children to shake the hand of the man he called utterly immoral. marco rubio did not sound afraid of donald trump two years ago. >> he's a con man. i think it is time to unmask him for what he is. >> i will not allow the conservative moment to be taken over by a con artist by the name of donald trump. >> and today that same person sounded brainwashed. >> president trump is calling on end

ted cruz, we talk a little bit about this race. beto o'rourke challenging the ted cruz in texas.'s gold for democrats. here is a quote from senator ted cruz telling the houston chronicle i would certainly welcome president trump's support and i hope to see anymore texas. i think we are likely to seat president down in texas before the election. no doubt that would be one -- a rally for one for the record books, matt, if the president does go down there. does senator cruz need him to go? >> you know, of the way i look at it is this, dana. every republican, especially running in these big trump states, they want the president to come. and, the other thing about texas you know, texas is one of the most important money raising states for republican and conservative coffers. so i think the president going to texas makes sense for a lot of reasons. i would throf see the photo of ted cruz and donald trump arm in arm. it's what the party needs. i'm going to like it. >> dana: all right. adrienne. what about you? do you think texas is fool's gold for texas or are you getting closer? >> one

it's a huge challenge to win this seat and beat ted cruz. he's not doing well enough with latino voters that are part of the -- many of them are supporting ted cruz as hillary clinton did in that state. so that would be your number 1 demographic that you'd have to turn to your side in order to win a statewide seat as a democrat in texas. that said, nationally there's incredible excitement behind him. we'll see if he can close the gap in september and october. it's going to be very difficult. >> dana: a.b. stoddard, thanks for joining us. >> thank you. >> dana: ohio state is suspending their football coach. and the president taking aim at a tv network that says they will not broadcast the anthem before nfl games. we'll have more on those topics. olay deep hydrating eye gel breaks through the competition olay eyes with b3 complex hydrates better than $100, $200 even $400 eye creams. that's something to see. olay >> shepard: shepard smith on the fox news deck. more headlines involving the white house. the attorney general jeff sessions fighting

he is a natural politician, he is the antithesis of ted cruz. it ted cruz is a bad retail politician, who matches up on the issues for the electorate. he is a fantastic retail politician, and they are responding well to him. >> dana: we will look at that one. talking about the troubles facing the president. from their perspective, they have a low poll that says unfavorable views include temperament, 53% are happy ther there, and truthfulness, 47%. what do you make of this messaging from the democratic group that is saying he's got problems, and we are after him on that? >> this is on the heels of the same group were previously telling democrats don't get high on your own supply, okay. this is going to be a tougher year than you thought. now they are saying okay, here is where trump's vulnerabilities are. when it comes to what was a truthfulness and a dealings with russia, that is just a reflection of partisanship. but it is that first number that a significant, and that is where the republicans stand up to suffer badly. that is trump's exposure

texas, this was a little bit of a surprise, this morning the texas iceum group poll showing that ted cruzs just two points ahead of o'roarke, cruz the incumbent. o'roarke on his heels. i would heat the quinnipiac poll came out saying that ted cruz is up 49-43. but that race, dave, is probably closer than ted cruz would like. >> i think it's very fair to say it's closer. i thought it was striking, i think last week, when an incumbent sitting senator ted cruz challenges beto o'roarke to five debates. that's crazy, an incumbent wants to debate, that speaks to his sense of waeshgness at this position. beto o'roarke is running an interesting and compelling campaign, the small dollar donations he's generated and keeping up financially with senator cruz and running on kitchen table issues, whether it's insuring affordable healthcare, whether it's ensuring that they are able to have a winning wage. >> dana: he's been doing it in a different way, facebook live. collin, the last word, the democrats have had this dream of flipping texas blue. are their dreams to be dashed again this year? >> yes. te

we've given ted cruz a hard time on this show, but let's give him props.cheers and applause] yeah. and--and i think we need to solve it before ted cruz decides to go to these detention centers himself. because these kids have been through enough. they'll be like, "please! please! "please! let me out of this cage! "let me out-- oh! what's that? "no, no. keep me in. "keep me in. whoa. "is that what you guys have on the outside?

[cheers and applause] - welcome to the show. - thank you. thanks for having me on. - it really is the perfect time to have you on because of your experience not just in congress and on immigration but also with regards to the child welfare system. let's talk a little bit about this policy that the trump administration has now implemented separating kids from their parents. there's one element that people don't seem to think about, and that is, where are the kids going to go if they're taken away indefinitely? what strain does that put on t

who knew that ted cruz was quite this elastic? it's not just lying ted.mpaign in which donald trump made fun of ted cruz's wife's likes, implied his dad had assassinated john f. kennedy, his trolls at the "national enquirer"er spread rumors about his personal life. he got booed off the stage at the republican national convention when he suggested the people vote their conscience. but you know in, politics, apparently it's easy to fib and ted cruz has proven that he is willing to get in line with the trump administration. i mean, he is not just on the trump train, he's enthusiastically on the trump train. >> charlie about tonight and what we're witnessing and what steve kornacki's been covering all night, what does tonight mean for you? >> okay, let me give you three data points. i don't want to be misunderstood that whoever wins tonight matters less than trend that you're seeing. this is a district that the democrats won once since 1938. the last republican congressman pat teberi won by 36 points. and there are 68 republican house seats that are less repu

conversely, ted cruz is being kind of held aloft by a pretty high rating among hispanics.ther those numbers will go down once beto hits the air. >> steve kornacki, it seems to me that one of the mash unit doctors is actually donald trump. where they have to -- where he'll be used the most is to do things like this, shore up -- go to west texas where they love him there for instance, lubbock or whatever. but shore up shaky incumbents where trump can actually help. >> yeah, i think in that sense he becomes a lot more useful to republicans when it comes to senate races potentially than it does to house races just because the battlefield for the senate side is being waged in so many red states, so many trump states. trump going into a west virginia or north dakota, missouri, indiana, texas, to try to prop up ted cruz. there are a lot of options there where i think you've got a significant number of trump voters where you could tap into that i think as a republican with less of a risk of the sort of backlash potential you have in some of these more swingish house seats that are

>> well, ted cruz is coming out and saying don't be complacent.ung, very attractive, solid candidate campaigns well, overworked. but ted cruz is actually up in the real clear politics pulls about six and half percentage points. i think ted cruz recognizes as a turnout election in every way and he started to ring the alarm bells for his voters to say, don't be complacent. don't look and see i am up by 6 and a half points and think that this is a done deal. you have to turn out because the turnout may obliterate the average polling and what polling means because posters are not able to predict who is really going to turn out in this election. mike: eric from the weekly standard, we thank you for your time. have a wonderful day. >> thank you for having me on. arthel: thank you. financial problems for the national rifle association. the gun rights group saying it may have to let go some of its operations. including nra tv. they are saying is because of the blacklisting campaign by one democratic governor.we will have the details coming up next. allerg

i rememberenr running into don mcgahn on the west lawn of the capitol at the rally with ted cruz andwas in the summer of 2015. don mcgahn was one of the first supporters president trump had. he has been around. he wanted to h usher in a conservative jurist, which is what he has done as the white house counsel. he's been responsible for getting so many judicial appointees to the senate which is why you see that statement from chuck grassley saying you can't let this happen, mcgahn has been taking a lot of hits from this president behind the scenes. remember, you know, last year he was the one who threatened to resign if the president fired bob mueller. and, so, you know, there have been a few, you know, tet a tets so to speak but he stuck to his ground and said i want the see through the next supreme court nominee, and that's probably -- i mean that is why he is staying through the fall >>> let's talk about another big storyut making headlines. paul manafort's trial, his lawyerss attempting to move hi latest trial location as we were reporting from d.c. to virginia. the thing that see

democrat beto o'rourke is losing to senator ted cruz by just six points. still a long shot to be sure, but o'rourke has also raised more money than cruz and has had more cash on hand as of the end of june. o'rourke is running as an unabashed liberal in texas. he's pro-choice, wants an assault weapons ban, a path to citizenship, an obamacare public option, and cruz says o'rourke sounds like he's running in massachusetts, not texas. matt, you have a great piece in "town & country" magazine. you asked the question, can a person who looks like kennedy and sounds like kennedy win in texas? >> yeah, and you're right he does sound like he's running in massachusetts. he's an unabashed progressive. he talks about gun control in a state that is heavily armed. he talks about immigration issues, against the border wall in a state with the longest border with mexico. he talks about climate change in a state that deals a lot with the energy sector as an important part of its economy. so he is talking up these issues all around the state and getting a lot of reception am

he tweeted about mitt romney, called him a dog, ted cruz, chuck todd but you can't ignore the history here, from what he said about the central park 5 to birtherism to the s-hole countries. this is part of a much bigger picture. >> it's a neon pattern. it's very, very obvious and at the risk of parsing his tweets a little bit too carefully here there are a lot of people who he said were behaving like a dog. >> you're right. you're right. >> but not a lot of people who he has said this person is a dog. >> i noticed that in reading through these tweets when he referred to mitt romney, ted cruz, it was worded. >> begging behavior. begging like a dog, fired like a dog which is a little stranger and not as clear what he's describing in terms of dog like behavior but he's not talking about people as animals and back-to-back with the word low life. it's unbelievably harsh and fits with the pattern that has been intensifying. it's very public, very unsubtle. he now uses that description of magazine waters as a low iq individual at campaign rallies. it's a huge applause line for him and he del

ted cruz in response to the alex jones purge said tech companies have a degree of power and an abilityo censor that we could never have imagined. they have the ability if there is a speaker that is disfavored simply to silence the speaker. your words float off into oblivion and nobody hears them. well, he's right about their power. the big five tech companies are now worth an estimated $4 trillion. well, that figure puts them above the gdp of all but seven countries on the planet. the immense size of these companies is concerning, but so too is the speed with which they can succumb to external pressure. point in case, just three weeks ago, mark zuckerberg defended keeping infowars on his platform. >> if you look at the things that are getting the most distribution, people flag them as potential hoaxes, we send those to fact checkers and if they say that it is provably false, then we will significantly reduce the distribution of that content. >> why don't you want to just say, "get off our platform"? >> as abhorrent as some of this content can be, it gets down to this principle of givin

senator ted cruz are calling for the federal government to pay for the texas project even as the lone star state sits on get this eleven billion bucks worth of a budget surplus and their so-called rainy day fund sometimes politicians positions are like the weather wait a while and they'll change. and speaking of the weather a bellwether for economies and industrialized countries it's often the bell that makes the base metal rather dr copper as it's often called it's often used as a prognosticator of the economic future and here is an interpreter of the good doctor is the director of research pricing and purchasing at i.h.s. market john mother still john welcome thank you for coming back it's so nice to have you in studio again pleasure to be here thanks ok so copper since we spoke with you here june maybe. continued a slow slide did a bit going on that but it's continued that slow slide what's going on i think it's a combination of factors i think it is certainly the trade anxieties are weighing on the outlook for copper ski consuming countries where markets and in particular china so

republican to leans republican because ted cruz in texas is having a tough race against o'rourke. that's kind of indicative of the kind of year republicans have having. even trump is managing to hold on the his 41%, there is an awful lot of trump anti-sentiment out, there even in red states. i think they're feeling the pressure. and certainly the odds are going up in favor of a democratic takeover of the house. >> molly, when it comes to candidates, trump has endorsed, his winds are 19. his losses are 4. those are pretty good stats. is this president an asset you think to republicans, at least in the primaries? >> well, primaries are very different from general elections. and actually for years, that's been the republicans' problem. long before trump came along. in a lot of way, trump is a symptom rather than a cause of the divisions within the republican party. so for years now we've seen a, you know, a very passionate activist right wing republican base that's able to tilt low turnout primaries towards candidates with some would say extreme views. and then those candidates are n

to play some comments donald trump made during the presidential campaign where he was accusing ted cruz'ss having been involved in the assassination of president kennedy and he actually got "the enquirer" to do stories about ted cruz's father being involved in jfk's assassination. let's listen to this now, knowing what we now know about the president's relationship with david pecker, who was running "the national enquirer". >> there was a picture on the front page of "the national enquirerer," which does have credibility. on the front page there was a picture of him and crazy lee harvey oswald having breakfast. this was a magazine that, frankly, in many respects, should be very respected. i mean, if that was "the new york times," they would have gotten pulitzer prizes for their reporting. i've always said, why didn't "the national enquirer" get the pulitzer prize? >> wry didn't "the national enquirer" get the pulitzer prize? >> "the national enquirer" has never really been a real member of the media, but then to cite it as credible when, clearly in retrospect, its role was not to report,

. >> it will be hard for congressman o'rourke to win and beat ted cruz in the texas senate race.e is a money raising during the period he basically is the national excitement of democrats. if he were to win this race or even come close, he's the top of the list were democrats of 2020 contenders, no doubt. they are hoping for the next barack obama. this will be hard for him, he is behind where hillary clinton was in his numbers with latinos and he would have to search with them taking on the cruise. however it something for -- it's not impossible for this man to beat beat ted cruz. >> i think the latino turnout is one of the big question marks, it's not clear that they are going to turn out in the numbers that democrats hope. >> bret: all right, next up president trump today keeps the twitter flowing. we will take aki look. saving you time for what you love most. >> kids: whoa! >> kids vo: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace ♪ ito take care of anyct messy situations.. and put irritation in its place. and if i can get comfortable keeping this tookus safe and protected... you can ge

really ridiculous allegations the president then used on the campaign trail to try to discredit ted cruz. you see this pattern of this news organization -- i use the term news organization very loosely -- this organization, you know, seemingly working on behalf of trump's campaign. and i imagine a lot more will be coming out. >> bob costa, you had the president today seemingly divorced from his role as the head of a law-abiding society. you've always been a very good west wing whisperer and interpreter. by how much is there a sense that the walls may be closing in? >> there's a sense of shock inside this white house because of the double barrelled legal news that happens on tuesday. still reeling from that in most respects. and the president has become isolated, but it was isolated in many ways over the last few weeks. he's been unhappy with michael cohen, the person he relied upon to talk to people like david pecker, keep him in the tabloids, handle situations behind the scenes. now he feels betrayed. the candidate's been named by cohen in court, and so now it's been brought to the pres

let's talk about overwork and a ted cruz.test ted cruz ad which has been part of a controversy coming on. >> i want to know how you personally felt about how disrespectful it is, you have the nfl players kneeling here in the national anthem. >> and any time, any place. >> liberal hollywood was thrilled but do texans agree? >> there is a lot more in that, and he got a lot of acclaim for it. how is this going to wash? >> this is a one minute 72nd ad so we are not going to see it on tv unless it's condensed down to 30 seconds. it shows an ideological divide. it's one thing to say, people have a right to do that, people have respect to feel they ought to do that. it's easy to say i can think of nothing more american than disrespecting our flag and national anthem. texans are not going to go for that in november in my opinion. >> martha: we have to go but there's lots more to talk about this. great to see you tonight with or without your whiteboard. thanks, carl. she was once at the top of the democratic party leadership. but now,

according to the latest quinnipiac poll, ted cruz maintains a six-point lead. suggest an even tighter race, a recent texas bowl put the spread it 2, highly unusual, analysts say in a state that practically bleeds red. >> the normal republican margin in texas these days is somewhere, 14, 15 points. senator cruz is awake at this point. >> the mudslinging has ensued. cruz's first tv ads came out at the beginning of the month. o'rourke countered with a fund-raising drive raking in more than $1 million to help fund advertisements with a more "positive spin." both crisscrossed the state trying to win over voters. >> i told the people of texas if you elect me, i will fight for you. >> i am really excited about texas. i feel lucky. >> foes during the presidential campaign, senator cruz now calling on president donald trump to help stump for him. >> bret: casey stegall in dallas. thank you. new york's democratic governor slammed the president's signature slogan today, calling america not that great. >> we are not going to make america great again. it was never that grea

does that say to you about politics that the mcconnell group might come to the rescue of one rafael ted cruzn 2018? incumbents noour matter what and i think senator cruz has become more of a partner in the senate than in the past, less of a gadfly and i think that helped him politically, in his own state, and in the caucus. host: stephen law was our guest on "newsmakers." pulling in texas showing beto o'rourke within 1 to 2 percentage points to -- of ted cruz and word is that president trump will travel to campaign for his former presidential rival. on the independent line from pittsburgh, good morning. caller: how is everybody going? host: we are good, thank you for joining us today. caller: i want to talk about the bipartisanship thing. what makes america great is creating that balance between the prophet, nonprofit and right prophet seems to be the head -- profit seems to be the head of the body like a frankenstein situation. i am a republican, but for the votingyears, i have been democrat because of the lack of bipartisan ship -- bipartisanship issues. obama, in my opinion, was the only
